What Else Could It Be?

And thanks to these gun regulations and strict ammunition control,  Switzerland has a murder rate of nearly zero! [Watch]

Kind of like that of the five million members of the NRA? Do you think it’s the “regulations” that hold us back, you self-impressed, lying dope? You can’t for the life of you figure out what else could be more relevant?

And “thanks” to morons like this, the Swiss are once more bowing to the hat of tyrants.

She Who Commands

A House oversight panel on Tuesday subpoenaed gunmaker Smith & Wesson for documents on the manufacture and sale of AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles after its CEO refused to appear for a hearing on the firearms frequently used in mass shootings. [More]

In-your-face traitress Carolyn Maloney gives a hint as to the unrestrained sadism she would embrace if she only had the power.

Hopefully, their lawyers can stall things long enough for House Oversight power to change hands (assuming the Republicans don’t blow the “Red Wave”). And then, hopefully, the Republicans will learn to strap ’em on and play hardball and start issuing subpoenas of their own.

Point/Counterpoint

Received via email:

Hey David,

I recently heard your spot on AAR regarding selective service requirements for transgender people, and I just wanted to give you my experience, hopefully it’ll make some sense.

I’m a proud American, a gun owner, and I vote for Republicans relatively often. However, I happen to also be a transgender American. I don’t want to go into deep detail about how I came to realize this, but I’ll put it this way – I fought it for a long time, and I desperately wanted to just be “normal”. However, after seeing many therapists, I have completed my
social and medical transition from female to male. This involved many therapists and psychiatrists, hormone therapy, and surgical intervention.

After these steps were completed, I changed my legal sex with the government. At that time, I was required to register with selective service. The requirement is based on your legal sex, which is very difficult to change (for good reason, every blue haired liberal won’t go through all the doctors I did without getting a good sense of whether they’re really transgender or just going through a phase). People who are born male, if they have not legally transitioned by 18, are required to register, as are any adult in the age range who legally transitions from female to male.

It’s worth noting that if a draft ever came, I’d be happy to serve my country, and I have a draft card just like every other man my age.

I hope any of that makes sense. I don’t expect you or Mark to accept me for who I am, and I listen to the show anyway. I hope hearing from me helps you
understand a little better how legal transition works (and that there are transgender people who are a lot like you). I’d appreciate if you left my name out of any further discussion or writing you may have on the topic, just for my safety.

Thanks for hearing me out,

[Name withheld by request.)

Here’s the article Mark and I discussed last Wednesday. And here’s my response:

Hello _____,

Back in the 90s, I co-wrote the first Inclusion Statement on a gun site that I am aware of. I’m sure Mark agrees with that.

I also wrote an article defending Nikki Stallard that is unfortunately no longer available.

I’d have to find time to listen to my segment with Mark because I’m pretty sure I couched it to clarify I was not commenting on transgenderism per se but on the legal issues surrounding Selective Service law. In re your experience with “legal sex,” it is helpful to know that but I would still need to determine what the law actually has to say and if it has even caught up with things. Case in point, they changed the 4473 to say “Male” Female” and “Non-Binary.” If someone born male put down “Female” would they be vulnerable to felony charges? Not being a lawyer I don’t know and suspect it would be new and unsettled with very little to reference.

In terms of the issue of LBGQT and all that, I believe in live and let live and not making anyone whose life is already hard enough any harder on them. That said, I reject demands that I embrace and laud someone for making that choice, and reserve the right to speak out against what I perceive to be deliberately outrageous advancement of a radical agenda. That, I speak out against. And that’s the best I can give you.

Regards,

David Codrea

Gun Owners Voting for GOP Betrayers Only Encourage More of the Same

They can say the hell with it and vote for the Democrat gun-grabber to demonstrate that “moderate” Republican traitors are unacceptable, and until the rest of the party and Fudds for Fitzpatrick learn that, they can just feel our pain. [More]

With “Republicans” like these, who needs Democrats?

Unhatched Chicken Counting

The Dubious and Doomed ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban That the House Approved Today May Cost Democrats This Fall – Recent polling suggests that Americans are starting to recognize that such laws make no sense. [More]

I wish I could share the enthusiasm but I think all it would take is one gun-free zone exploitation the magnitude of Beslan and you’d see a whole different set of survey results, not to mention a panicked Republican red wave-blowing scramble to get out of the water.

Now is no time to relax like the overconfident hare. Press on in earnest like the tortoise.

Preemptive Strike

In light of the shooting, Dyer said the city will implement checkpoints on weekends. People who want to visit the area of Orange Avenue from Washington to Pine Streets will have to walk through one of six pedestrian checkpoints…The city said people should expect to see more officers, K9s and metal detectors. There will also be a voluntary weapons screening at the checkpoints. [More]

What if we don’t “volunteer”?

So the patchwork quilt works against the Fourth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities Clause, too?

Funny, how gun-grabbing Democrats like Buddy Dyer demand “commonsense infringements” on all freedoms

It’s Ronnie Barrett Time

I spent this am contacting every gun manufacturer I do business with and asking them to PICK A SIDE and go full Ronnie Barrett on every state and agency presuming to infringe on Heller, Bruen and the constitution generally. It is time for the industry to stand up for their customers and NOT SELL GUNS TO AGENCIES AND STATES ADOPTING & ENFORCING RED FLAG LAWS and passing rebound statutes to piss on Bruen. [More]

Longtime WarOnGuns Correspondent Dave Licht is doing the job NSSF won’t do.

The thought strikes: If someone had the wherewithal to create an auto emailer like what GOA does with our elected reps– but this one going to all gun, ammo, and gear mfrs. —  this letter could be used as a customizable template or you could write your own.

The next thought strikes: If someone put that together, how many gun owners would send one?

What Price Freedom?

The federal government has unveiled how much they are planning to pay gun owners for the banned firearms they turn over as part of the mandatory buyback program. On Thursday, Public Safety Canada released a full price list outlining how much compensation individual owners can expect to receive under the program.

Have they factored in the costs of citizens saying “No”?

I Rest My Case

Young was charged with driving with a suspended license, felon in possession of a firearm, two counts of grand theft of a firearm, fleeing police, resisting an officer and a probation violation. Maloy was charged with possession of a controlled substance, resisting an officer and felon in possession of a firearm. He also had three warrants for his arrest out of Hillsborough and Lee counties. [More]

Tell me that doesn’t make the case for disarming you and me!

Spooking the Herd

In the United States, we live in a perpetual state of panic to the degree that the sound of glass shattering in one hotel causes mass hysteria the entire length of one of America’s most famous streets. [More]

What you mean “we,” Kemosabe?

Sounds like she plans on going right back to being a sniveling ungulate demanding government do something about those who aren’t.

A Criminal Mayor Conspiracy

GUN CONTROL MAYORS CONSPIRING AGAINST FIREARM MANUFACTURERS [More]

The Bloomberg criminals are picking up the “public nuisance” lawsuit strategy.

So when are industry reps Larry Keane and the NSSF going to do more than yack about it and call for their members to pick a target city like New York and go all Barrett on them?

Never Say Never

The level of GOP opposition indicates the bill is unlikely to advance in the evenly split Senate, where it would require the support of at least 10 Republicans to defeat a guaranteed filibuster. It’s also not clear if the measure has the support of all 50 Senate Democrats. [More]

Forgive me for wondering what kind of new incident would be enough to make it happen.

Proposed Banking Merchant Category Codes Latest Backdoor Ploy to ID Gun Owners

The software would know “prohibited person” status? How? Are banks now going to tap into NICS and perform after-the-fact “background checks”? How is such data sharing with private parties authorized by law? [More]

Rope-selling phony “capitalists,” that is, embedded Marxists and economic fascists, are banking on disarmament.
